Valve is waiting to create the Steam Deck 2 until major silicon and architectural improvements emerge — drastically better performance with the same battery life is not enough

The Steam Deck 2 is not happening anytime soon, a notion that has just been reinforced by software engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais, who says that Valve is waiting for true next-gen silicon with architectural improvements that will allow the Steam Deck successor to offer both significantly better performance and battery life, likely without incurring extra costs toward the end-user.

AMD’s FSR Redstone officially debuts in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 — AMD’s answer to Nvidia’s Ray Reconstruction

FSR Redstone is here and Call of Duty’s getting it first. In Black Ops 7, there’s a “Ray Regeneration” option that allows users to clean up ray tracing data before it’s fed into the upscaler, resulting in higher-quality ray-traced lighting, shadows and reflections. It only works with RX 9000 series cards at the moment, but support for older RDNA lineups might be possible.
